Meals & Student Welfare
Daily Meals
The school provides meals according to the school menu. Breakfast and lunch are served during school days, helping pupils remain active, focused and healthy throughout the day.
The weekly menu includes meals such as tea and bread, tea and vitumbua, tea and chapati, rice with meat, beans and vegetables, ugali with meat, chips and chicken, pilau, fruits and other balanced meals.
Pupils are not allowed to bring snacks or drinks to school unless there is a medical reason approved by the school administration.
First Aid & Medical Care
The school provides first aid for minor injuries. In case of a serious health condition, the child will be taken to hospital immediately, and parents or guardians will be contacted.
All medical costs remain the responsibility of the parent or guardian. Parents are therefore encouraged to provide accurate medical information during admission and to remain reachable during school hours.
School Transport
Ivy First offers school bus transport services to pupils in accessible areas. However, buses may not reach areas with poor road conditions. Parents who need transport services are encouraged to contact the school administration for route confirmation and further arrangements.

Boarding Services
Ivy First provides boarding accommodation for approximately 60 pupils in two boarding houses or dormitories. The boarding facilities are separated and supervised by a matron for girls and a patron for boys.
Boarding is designed to help pupils grow in independence, discipline, time management, responsibility and academic focus. It also provides pupils with a supportive community where learning, character formation and personal development can continue beyond normal classroom hours.
